[114] first friction washers 78 also are provided with two couples of this packing ring 78 action pawl 78P from the material of first friction washer 78.As a resilient member 28A, when 28B remains static, a pair of action pawl 78P is connected with the end angle of corresponding resilient member.

[115] each action pawl 78P is limited by a surface that contacts with corresponding resilient member 28A, 28B.More particularly, each action pawl 78P comprises that one is used for the bearing of corresponding

resilient member

28A, 28B, and this bearing is limited by this contact surface.

[116] this bearing and at least one pawl 78A are formed by the same drop edge that is formed by a continuous fold line of friction washer 78.

[117] when the four damping stage relevant with main vibration damper A1 started, circumferential clearance between the profile of one respective window 32 of each

resilient member

28A, 28B and diskware 24 is eliminated, thereby diskware 24 will recline and go up the wherein end of

resilient member

28A, 28B, so that compress this resilient member 28A, 28B.Therefore, action pawl 78P---it contacts with the resilient member 28A that cooperates with diskware 24, the end of 28B---moves jointly with this end and diskware 24, rotates (therefore driving second friction washer 80 rotates) so that drive first friction washer 78.

Radial friction surface F4, the F4 ' of [118] two complementations are carried by the second guiding packing ring 16B and first friction washer 78.

Radial friction surface G4, the G4 ' of [119] two complementations are carried by second friction washer 80 and elastic washer 76.

[120] complementary friction surface F4, F4 ', G4, G4 ' are actuated by elasticity by elastic washer 76 and contact with each other.In fact, these elastic washer 76 supportings are installed between the first guiding packing ring 16A and friction member 74 of main vibration damper A1, particularly between the first guiding packing ring 16A and second friction washer 80.Elastic washer 76, is rotationally connected with the guiding packing ring 16A of main vibration damper A1 as by the cooperating of pawl radially and complementary otch by traditional approach.

[121] the main aspect that friction clutch shown in Fig. 1,2 10 moves is described below.

[122] when motor car engine during with the operation of state at a slow speed, because the hardness of its

resilient member

44A, 44B, 46A, 46B is higher, described main vibration damper A1 performance as same rigid member.In this case, the torque that provides of engine crankshaft is directly passed to the annular diskware 24 of main vibration damper A1 from friction disk 12.

[123] because the diskware 24 of guiding

packing ring

34A, 34B and main vibration damper A1 is rotationally connected, torque also passes to these guiding packing rings 34A, 34B.

[124] thus torque pass to the annular diskware 42 of pre-vibration damper A2 by

resilient member

44A, 44B, 46A, 46B from described guiding

packing ring

34A, 34B, and therefore pass to hub spare 14.

[125] vibrations of torque and erratic behavior instant action resilient member 44A, the 44B of the very first time by pre-vibration damper A2 with extenuated by the first instant action friction means (surperficial F1, F1 ', G1, G1 ') related with pre-vibration damper A2.

[126] under the situation shown here, when stroke surpasses the angle threshold of pre-vibration damper A2 between guiding packing ring 34A, the 34B of pre-vibration damper A2 and the trip of the angle between the annular diskware 42, also by pre-vibration damper A2 have ready conditions action resilient member 46A, 46B with by related with the pre-vibration damper A2 second action friction means (surperficial F2, F2 ', G2, G2 ') of having ready conditions vibrations and erratic behavior are extenuated.

[127] annular diskware 24 comprises a toothed region 24I at inner periphery, and this toothed region is with a corresponding toothed region 14E engagement of a predetermined circumferential clearance and hub spare 14 outer peripherys.It is radially projection substantially that the 24I of internal tooth form portion of diskware 24 forms some, and these projections are used for the complementary outer groove fit with hub spare 14.

[128] when stroke between the angle trip between the diskware 42 of pre-vibration damper A2 and guiding packing ring 34A, the 34B equals between diskware 24 and the hub spare 14 predetermined circumferential clearance, work in coordination by stopping between this diskware 24 and this hub spare 14.In this case, pre-vibration damper A2 no longer participates in transmission of torque, and this torque is directly passed to hub spare 14 from the diskware 24 of main vibration damper A1.

[129] thus torque only pass to hub spare 14 from friction disk 12 by main vibration damper A1.

[130] vibrations of torque and erratic behavior instant action resilient member 26A, the 26B of the very first time by main vibration damper A1 with extenuated by the 3rd instant action friction means (surperficial F3, F3 ', G3 and G3 ') related with main vibration damper A1.

[131] under the situation shown here, when stroke surpasses the angle threshold of pre-vibration damper A1 between guiding packing ring 16A, the 16B of main vibration damper A1 and the trip of the angle between the annular diskware 24, vibrations and erratic behavior also by having ready conditions of main vibration damper A1 move

resilient member

28A, 28B with extenuated by the having ideals, morality, culture, and discipline if action friction means (surperficial F4, F4 ', G4, G4 ') related with main vibration damper A1.

[132] therefore form four damping stages, these four damping stages one after the other carry out according to stroke between the trip of the angle between friction disk 12 and the hub spare 14.

[133] in a unshowned modification of the present invention of describing just now, stroke is along a predetermined sense of rotation (en r é tro) when carrying out for example backward when between guiding packing ring 34A, the 34B of pre-vibration damper A2 and the trip of the angle between the annular diskware 42, and vibrations and erratic behavior also move friction means (surperficial F2, F2 ', G2, G2 ') and extenuated with having ready conditions by related with pre-vibration damper A2 second by have ready conditions action resilient member 46A, the 46B of pre-vibration damper A2.

[134] in another unshowned modification of the present invention of describing just now, when stroke between guiding packing ring 16A, the 16B of main vibration damper A1 and the trip of the angle between the annular diskware 24 when a predetermined sense of rotation is for example carried out backward, vibrations and erratic behavior also by having ready conditions of main vibration damper A1 move

resilient member

[135] it is pointed out that the present invention is not limited to above-described embodiment.Particularly, in the case of necessary, can comprise that one is similar to the vibration damper of the friction washer of friction washer 66 for main vibration damper assembling.

[136] it is pointed out that in addition friction washer 66 of the present invention is particularly advantageous, because except having above-described function, this friction washer 66 is also simplified the installation of rubbing device 10.

[137] in fact, when the pawl 66P of friction washer 66 was stuck among resilient member 46A, the 46B, this friction washer 66 and pre-vibration damper A2 formed once the pre-assembled module that can only be installed in by once-through operation on the rubbing device 10.

[138] pre-assembled module preferably also comprises the diskware 24 of main vibration damper A1, and guiding packing ring 34A, the 34B of pre-vibration damper A2 fix on it.

[139] thus pre-assembled module comprise guiding

packing ring

34A, 34B, annular diskware 42 and at least one have ready conditions action resilient member 46A, the 46B of pre-vibration damper A2, friction washer 66 is stuck on each have ready conditions action resilient member 46A, 46B of pre-vibration damper A2.
